Ricoh Aficio 1515ps - How can I get the scanner to scan? (printing works)

For similar screenshots and story, see: How to define my Samsung SCX3200 multifunction printer?
and for a possible solution: How can I get an Epson TX560WD scanner working?
Thanks!
Edit n°1
installed xsane (via Ubuntu Software Center), launched it and get the following:
Clicking on "Help" yields:
I tried 4)
man sane-dll
which yields
No manual entry for sane-dll
I uninstalled "Simple Scan": didn't help.
I tried 3) but aborted due to unsettling warning ;) wasn't that brave (or desperate).
Maybe it's due to 1) and I'm stuck with it?
Is it really not possible that a driver for either Windoze or Mac OS would also support scanning via Ubuntu?
Edit n°2
Resorted to Windows XP and the Network TWAIN Driver
ScanRouter or the "lite" version (which I found elsewhere) might also work (under Linux??); but it's more than I need.
Thought about WINE, but also that seems to rely on SANE...
So still no luck with this device's scanning capabilities with Linux (but good enough (via xp) for my purposes)...
